Abstract: A lock arrangement having a driver element which has two outer surface sections. The first section has a first geometrical cross-section configuration which engages an outer lever spindle in both the locked and unlocked condition. In the unlocked condition, the first section also engages an outer driver spindle which rotates with the outer lever handle and outer lever spindle and engages the latch retraction structure for retraction of the latch. In the locked position, the second outer surface section of the driver element is aligned with outer drive spindle and the second surface section is free of driving engagement with the outer drive spindle such that retraction of the latch is prevented when the outer lever handle is rotated. A solenoid is provided on the interior of the lock and controls the movement of the driver element between the locked and unlocked positions.

Abstract: A driver element in this lock has two outer surface sections. The first of the sections has a first geometrical cross-sectional configuration which engages an outer lever spindle in both the locked and unlocked condition. In the unlocked condition the first section also engages an outer driver spindle which rotates with the outer lever handle and outer lever spindle and engages the latch retraction structure for retraction of the latch. In the locked position, a push button on the inner handle pushes the driver such that a second section of the outer surface of the driver is aligned with the outer drive spindle and the second section is free of driving engagement with the outer driver spindle such that operation of the latch is prevented when the outer lever handle is rotated.

Abstract: A door lock arrangement comprising a frame, a door handle, a slidable deadbolt arrangement, a depressable trigger member for releasing the slidable deadbolt, a deadbolt driver for sliding the deadbolt to its extended position when triggered, and a bidirectional retraction assembly, whereby rotation of the door handle in either direction moves the deadbolt from the extended position to the retracted position.
